Staff Profile

I joined Newcastle University and the NIHR Innovation Observatory in 2023. I work as one of three Centre Administrators, supporting the Management Team in delivering administrative activities across the Innovation Observatory.

My role includes receiving, resolving and responding to internal and external administrative queries received into the Centre to ensure clear advice and an effective service is provided to colleagues and customers. I manage internal records related to the functions of the Centre, maintaining databases of information and extracting reports on data as required. 

I also provide administrative support to the Innovation Observatory’s Management Team to ensure that all meetings are dealt with quickly and efficiently as well as arranging travel arrangements (both nationally and internationally).
